The Alaska Anchorage Coordinated Resources Project (AA CRP) — Mental Health Court is a type of specialty court that provides an alternative to traditional justice when dealing with adult defendants who have mental health conditions. This court seeks to identify and address the underlying causes of criminal behavior in order to reduce the likelihood of recidivism and increase public safety. The AA CRP — Mental Health Court works in close collaboration with mental health providers, probation officers, and other community partners to provide comprehensive treatment and support to individuals with mental illness, substance abuse disorder, or co-occurring disorders. The court also seeks to provide wrap-around services to ensure that participants have access to all the resources necessary to maintain stability in their lives. The AA CRP — Mental Health Court consists of two main programs: the Adult Mental Health Court and the Juvenile Mental Health Court. The Adult Mental Health Court is a voluntary program designed for adults aged 18 and over whom have been charged with low level offenses, have mental health conditions, and are willing to participate in treatment and rehabilitation. The Juvenile Mental Health Court is a voluntary program designed for juveniles aged 12-17 who have been charged with low level offenses, have mental health conditions, and are willing to participate in treatment and rehabilitation.
